Hello,

I have the following in VBA:

If .Cells(X, "K") = "RG" Then
.Cells(X, "Q").Value = "TRC"

How can I modify this formula to look in column K for a string that contains
RG and perform the same function? (i.e., if it contains RG-TRVL or TRVL-RG,
then TRC should automatically be placed in column Q)?

Thank you.



Use the InStr function. If it returns a non-zero, your substring is contained
in the string.
